Thank you Community Coalition for putting together such a beautiful (& heartbreaking) event. They shared that Erica, a woman selling tamales for 20 yrs there, was taken, along with highlighting too many others in South LA. In the midst of moments that feel hopeless, CoCo always gives me faith 🧭💖🔥🧊

The ICE siege of L.A. continues to impact all of L.A., not just those directly targeted by masked agents. If you don’t think this affects you, think again. ~ @eltragon.bsky.social

When my parents sent me to Catholic school after all those days of Muslim Sunday school, they were looking at the ways we are the same; not how we are divided. #poetry #poem #peace :)

Our #HR40Reparations bill is not a symbolic gesture—it's an opportunity for our country to address its shameful history of systemic racism. I convened leaders and advocates in the reparations space to educate staff about the bill and affirm just that. theblackwallsttimes.com/2025/06/13/h...

He finally got his big crowd size! 😂 One of the countless hilarious and clever people I encountered today in downtown LA. They're flipping the script on the invasive energies that brought us together and it's going to be harnessed to heal this situation 💖💫 #dtlalove #nokingsday

One of many unintended setbacks of curfewing downtown, it hurts already struggling businesses. I walked back yesterday (curfew is not for regional residents) and almost everything was closed by 9p. There's another curfew set tonight. This can't needlessly drag on. 🌠

What a headline! I live downtown and went to a peaceful interfaith vigil this evening next to city hall. True leaders were there. Who isn't rioting in downtown LA? Peaceful protestors who are trying their best to communicate the vision for a MUCH more compassionate future. #dtlalove <3

You Think that Eagle Soaring Over Canyons Far from Dirt Cares if it Can Make it into Human Record Books? Will it measure its life worth by how we hailed it during class or will it live to spread proud wings upon our widest, wildest paths? #poetry #poem #🦅💵🌄

Pigeonhole the Pigeon’s Whole As I watch a pigeon graze on concrete’s bloom, I finally cherish the color in its plume. For underneath the car-smoked grey, gleans emerald and violet rays. A creature that brings much dismay shines on. It flies. Don’t need no praise. #poetry #poem #🦚🦅🦢🕊️

A Jigsaw Puzzle Made of All the Same Pieces is No Puzzle. It's Trash. Just As a Puzzle with Pieces that Won't Fit Together is Trash. But a Puzzle with Different Pieces that Connect Demonstrates the Value of Every Piece AND the Entire Picture. #poetry #poem #donthatecollaborate :)

I am on this Metro Car and I Don’t Know You. I Don’t Know You and I Don’t Know You. The only things I know are through surface cues. Programmed by my life and a puppeteer crew. We are boxed in this space, but we are bound by our own minds too. (1/2) #poetry #poem

Be Just What You are Now and That is What We Need. We do not always need the superstar who’s making you lose sleep. You may not see the value of the thing you are right now. But you as you is what we need. Your head still wears the crown. 👑 #poetry #poems
